5. Watlow reserves the right to charge for no trouble found (NTF) returns. Document Overview and Purpose This document looks deeper at the system configuration using Composer™ software and the F4T function blocks and their associated connections. Common product usage is described and illustrated through application examples. Wat l ow F4T •...
The F4T system can carry out several functions at the same time; such as, monitoring and acting upon various inputs (temperature sensing devices, pressure trans- ducers and digital inputs), PID control, monitoring for several different alarm situations and then driving output devices such as heaters, audible alarms, and lights.
Composer software. To learn more about setting up function blocks see Chapter 2 of this document in the section titled "Configuring the Application with the Function Block Diagram View". Wat l ow F4T • 7 • C ha p t er 1 O v e r v i e w...
Controllers equipped with this feature will have the letter [J, K, L or M] in the fifth character of its part number (see: F4T Ordering Information). Logging can be enabled at any time and is intended to capture real-time data for a user selectable list of data points. With firmware re- vision 3.0 and above, several new features are available.
7. Clicking the Finish button will conclude the installation. Note: If experiencing difficulties installing or using Composer software, prior to contacting Watlow technical support, be prepared to send the user log file to the tech support team. This text file can be found here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Watlow\Composer\ Logs The red text above will change to the user's Windows login name.
Connecting the PC to the Controller (System) - Physical Connections Physical connections (hardware and cabling) will vary depending on the controller in use. 1. To find instructions connecting an F4T controller to a PC see: Chapter 3 of the F4T Instal- lation and Troubleshooting User's Guide.

When transferring files via TFTP, do not create a file on the server called "testfile". Communications between the F4T and the TFTP server is tested prior to starting a transfer using this filename while then verifying the response from the server.

Note: Due to wear-leveling operations of flash memory devices (internal - F4T and exter- nal - USB), there may be some gaps within the data logged file. Note: If logged file is sent to USB, the *.csv and the *.enc file are written directly to USB constantly.

F4T Functions Described The controller is customized by connecting function blocks (FB) as needed for the application. A transmitter of one function is commonly connected to a receiver of another using Com- poser's function block diagram editor. The connections between blocks, referred to as signals, carry information from one function block to another.

All Modbus registers are 16-bits and are listed in the following table as relative addresses (ac- tual). Some F4T parameters are contained within 32 bits (IEEE float, signed 32 bit), notice that only one (low order) of the two registers is listed. By default, the low order word contains the two low bytes of the 32-bit parameter.
